Although, cards can be used in many different ways.Games include:Matching and sorting- this game is the “rub-a-dub” game. It has 72 bubble pictures. One set with the words and the other without. It also included all 6 “L” blends in the bathtub. You can use this game as a match and sort. Students will need to look at the picture and place it in the correct bathtub blend. I have also added a blend mat sheet. Puzzle building game- 18 pictures with missing words. Students will need to find the right blend and ending sound to make the word. Record sheet provided.

QQT/Memory game- 20 pictures along with 6 blend sound cards that can be used for a memory game. Students will need to match the picture with the correct card. Or you may use the picture cards for a QQT game, in which the student will need to say the word and provide which blend it begins with.
